Only male crickets chirp, for one of two reasons. One, to attract females for mating (tell me THAT ain't jolly) Two, to warn other male crickets to get away from their territory.
when djjd said we Walked Right Up..i think this was the close point.
we connected crickets. and chirping. but not the chirping crickets w/buddy holly album

WOOOWWW. I thought this was in the bag with Alberta Cross... 19 pages and 120 minutes later we have Elvis Costello...
Elvis Costello is probably correct. If you had the list of bands and you saw elvis costello... you'd think hes a buddy holly look-alike and probably construct some "weezer-ish" clue as well...
Problem is... once in a while... we get clues that require MANY jumps and EXTENSIVE knowledge of music and artists so people think the simple answers aren't going to fit... but if I were DJJD, thats exactly the way I'd want you to think....
and can I also say whats with all the Weezer bashing?? people are dying for Cake but the band that probably followed any cake song on any radio station in the 90s makes them gag?? How can you not like even one of the multitude of Weezer hits?? I'm no huge weezer fan but they have at least 15 top 20 singles which is good enough reason to give them 2 hours to play at the Roo.. especially if GWAR is playing... I mean I hear 4 seconds of gwar and all I can see is a bunch of sammy hagar look-alikes running around camp han solo punching women in the face. For a festival rooted in the jam band / hippie movement (ie: LOVE not thrashing metal rage) I think Weezer def has a place... like "Island in the sun" blaring from which stage at 6pm Friday with a sky speckled with red and orange clouds and a 5 mph NW wind bringing temps to 68 wouldn't be amazing???!!
(ps... i totally plan to check out GWAR if only to see what Beavis and butthead's favorite band sound like live... so I'm not hating... its just [to me] hardcore metal, thrashing metal and screamo-metal all see SOOO FAR from what the bonnaroo festival stands for etc. I just don't see how Enter Sandman [metalica] epitomizes a jam-band music festival.
Some will say "ohh thats the whole point brother, its all about opening your eyes to new styles of music...."yada yada yada
but screaming and moshing at a peace fest just seems oxymoronic.
Anyway ALL LOVE>>> ALLLLL LOVE im putting out... not hating you metal heads AT ALLL... I know I'm off topic but after reading 19 pages in a row... you kinda need to get some stuff off your chest ya know?

Holly saw Elvis Presley sing in Lubbock in 1955 and began to incorporate a rockabilly style into his music[5], which gradually evolved into rock music. On October 15, he opened on the same bill with Presley[6] in Lubbock, catching the eye of a Nashville talent scout.[8] Holly's transition to rock continued when he opened for Bill Haley & His Comets at a local show organized by Eddie Crandall, the manager for Marty Robbins.[6]
The city has also been the birthplace or home of several country musicians including Delbert McClinton, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock and Joe Ely (collectively known as The Flatlanders), Mac Davis, Terry Allen, Lloyd Maines and his daughter, Dixie Chicks singer, Natalie Maines, Texas Tech alums Pat Green and Cory Morrow, and Coronado High School graduate Richie McDonald (lead singer of Lonestar until 2007). Pete Orta from the Christian rock group Petra, basketball players Craig Ehlo and Daniel Santiago, and football player Mason Crosby have also called Lubbock home. The city is also the birthplace of actor Chace Crawford (The Covenant, Gossip Girl), singer Travis Garland from the band NLT, and public interest attorney, author, and political activist William John Cox (Billy Jack Cox).
Hi-I just joined after watching all the clues come in yesterday.
I'm new to all this, but I took a rock music class last semester and we talked about how Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on Buddy Holly's plane but ended up on a tour bus instead. He also told Holly that he hoped that his plane crashed (as a joke).
Waylon also has a song called Luckenbach, Texas. I don't know if this is anything and I don't really know how it all links back (especially the jolly part), but it struck me as interesting.
The song also references Willie Nelson:
"Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys This successful life we're livin' got us feuding like the Hatfield and McCoy's Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs and blue eyes cryin' in the rain, out in Luckenbach Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain"
At one point I thought it was Buddy (Holly) when Jolly (Happy = Happy Birthday). From there I looked at other musicians born with the same birthday, and it is creepy that a few born on that day died at a young age
Buddy Holly - 22 - plane crash Brent Lilies (Social Distortion & Agent Orange) - 43 - Hit by bus Eazy-E - (rapper) - 31 - AIDS Jermaine Stewart (pop singer) - 39 - AIDS Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders better be careful!!
Buddy says to Jovie, Zooey Deschanel's characer, "The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear." Zooey sings in She & Him with M. Ward. M. Ward did a cover of Rave On with Zooey on his last album. Plus her last name is Deschanel, french which fits the "Chanson" hint.
So Buddy when Jolly sings. Zooey sings in She & Him on a Buddy Holly tune.
"You look like you're listening to every note." - Lady to me during LCD's "final" show 2023: Mar 29 - Guster Apr 6 - Postmodern Jukebox Apr 26 - Father John Misty May 14 - Taylor Swift (Philly) May 17 - Robert Plant and Alison Krauss July 12 - moe. July 16 - CAKE (Portland, ME) July 28-30 - Newport Folk (#12!) Dec 8-9 - Goosemas!
OK, I haven't read all 26 pages, but here's two guesses based on the songs of Buddy Holly.
"Rave On" ----> Raveonettes "Peggy Sue" ----> was originally called "Cindy Lou"--->Cindy Lou Who ---> The Who
I like the Raveonettes answer. Rave On fits the mood of jolly. Buddy When Jolly = Rave On. Even if it doesn't wind up correct, I think this is the right line of thinking.

Maybe we need to look at some other songs of his now I am intentlel listening to such hits as Peggy Sue Ready Teddy etc. I am also going to check out something new and see if there is a Syd Barret/Pink Floyd connection they would have been influenced by Buddy Holly just the same as The Beatles. We got real close with Ringo I feel we are at this point talking about the birth of an art form Rock'n Roll music. And the Roger waters rumours are persisting. And nobody has explored this avenue.

rave on - it's a crazy feeling and I know it's got me reeling when you say “I love you” - rave on

I have been trying to keep up and this is my first post. I am very impressed with everyone's input. A thought I have that may have been covered that I thought of when reference to Buddy Holly's songs.
I think Mr. Holly had a song titled "I Was A Fool" or "I Guess I'm Just a Fool" or something along those lines which makes me think of someone who wouldn't want to get fooled again My obvious potential The Who guess.
